Security Design and Information Aggregation in Markets
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been well-recognized that markets can aggregate less-than-perfect information across market participants. With two differently designed securities, this work examines the impact of security design on the information aggregation ability of markets in laboratory experiments. Results show that markets with one security aggregate information significantly better than markets with the other security, implying that information aggregation ability of markets is affected by the security design. Behavior of individual participants is then investigated to understand the observed market behavior. JEL Classification: C92; C91; D80

On the design and security of a lattice-based threshold secret sharing scheme
In this paper, we introduce a method of threshold secret sharing scheme (TSSS) in which secret reconstruction is based on Babai's nearest plane algorithm. In order to supply secure public channels for transmitting shares to parties, we need to ensure that there are no quantum threats to these channels. A solution to this problem can be utilization of lattice-based cryptosystems for these channe...
متن کاملUsing Financial Instruments to Transfer the Information Security Risks
For many individuals and organizations, cyber-insurance is the most practical and only way of handling a major financial impact of an information security event. However, the cyber-insurance market suffers from the problem of information asymmetry, lack of product diversity, illiquidity, high transaction cost, and so on. On the other hand, in theory, capital market-based financial instruments c...
متن کاملGGRA: a grouped gossip-based reputation aggregation algorithm
An important issue in P2P networks is the existence of malicious nodes that decreases the performance of such networks. Reputation system in which nodes are ranked based on their behavior, is one of the proposed solutions to detect and isolate malicious (low ranked) nodes. Gossip Trust is an interesting previously proposed algorithm for reputation aggregation in P2P networks based on t...
متن کاملPrediction Markets: Fundamentals, Key Design Elements, and Applications
Over the last couple of years, interest in prediction markets as a forecasting method has continuously increased in the scientific world and in industry. Markets provide incentives for information revelation and can be used as a mechanism for aggregating information. So far, prediction markets have done well in every known comparison with other forecasting methods. Whereas information aggregati...
متن کاملIncomplete Markets and Security Prices: Do Asset-Pricing Puzzles Result from Aggregation Problems?
This paper investigates Euler equations involving security prices and household-level consumption data. It provides a useful complement to many existing studies of consumptionbased asset pricing models that use a representative-agent framework, because the Euler equations under investigation hold even if markets are incomplete. It also provides a useful complement to simulation-based studies of...
